(To accompany Bill H. R. No. 513.] 



April 17, 1858. 



Mr. Jewett, from the Committee on Invalid Pensions, made the 



following 



REPORT 



The Committee on Invalid Pensions, to tvJiom toas referred the papers of 
William Howell^ of the State of Tennessee, asking an invalid pension^ 
for injuries sustained in the war of 1812, report: 

That it appears from the evidence filed, that said William Howell 
enlisted on the 15th July, 1812, for eighteen months, under Captain 
Martin Hawkins, in the 27th regiment of infantry ; was transferred 
shortly after to the company of Captain Thornton S. Posey, in the 
same regiment. Whilst on his way from Fort Knox to Fort Harri- 
son, with a load of provisions tor the army, he was shot in the left 
breast by a ball fired from a gun in the hands of an Indian ; from 
the effects of said wound he has never recovered, but is now wholly 
disabled from obtaining a living by manual labor. 

William Hargiss and Abraham Dye, who were in the same company 
with him, swear to the fact of his having received the wound whilst 
in the line of his duty. 

D. B. Cliff" and S. S. Mayfield, who are certified to be physicians of 
good standing in Franklin, Williamson county, Tennessee, certify 
that he is now disabled one half or more. 

The committee are of opinion that he is entitled to relief, and there- 
fore report a bill.
